    (Population health metrics, 2021) Kwesiga, Doris; Tawiah, Charlotte; Imam, Ali; Tesega, Adane Kebede; Nareeba, Tryphena; Enuameh, Yeetey A. K.; Biks, Gashaw A.; Manu, Grace; Beedle, Alexandra; Delwa, Nafisa; Fisker, Ane B.; Waiswa, Peter; Lawn, Joy E.; Blencow, Hannah
    Risks of neonatal death, stillbirth and miscarriage are highest in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where data has most gaps and estimates rely on household surveys, dependent on women reporting these events. Underreporting of pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) is common, but few studies have investigated barriers to reporting these in LMICs. The EN-INDEPTH multi-country study applied qualitative approaches to explore barriers and enablers to reporting pregnancy and APOs in surveys, including individual, community, cultural and interview level factors.

    An estimated 5ยท1 million stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur annually. Household surveys, most notably the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), run in more than 90 countries and are the main data source from the highest burden regions, but data-quality concerns remain. We aimed to compare two questionnaires: a full birth history module with additional questions on pregnancy losses (FBH+; the current DHS standard) and a full pregnancy history module (FPH), which collects information on all livebirths, stillbirths, miscarriages, and neonatal deaths.
